The Fender Telecaster (Reference)

This is the best book I have read on the telecaster. It has a wealth of information that I have not seen in other books.

The essential book for Tele players.

I bought this book simply as a reference guide since I was building a copy of a 1952 Telecaster for my brother. I'm a guitarist and luthier and I build a variety of stringed instruments from guitars, to ukuleles, to dulcimers ([...]). I'd never built a solid body electric before. I wanted to make sure I was staying true to the '52 external specs as much as possible, while looking into the later years of the guitar for upgrading the "innards" of the project. So in the beginning, my use of the book was limited. However, the more I read, the more I learned about the Tele in general, things I never knew about the father of all electric guitars as it matured. It was actually quite fascninating and well presented. There are plenty of illustrations and photos and the text is very readable.It ended up putting more ideas in my head for building future guitars of the Tele genre. The book is full of accurate and interesting information on all aspects of the Telecaster family. It isn't what I'd call a coffee table book, but is an excellent technical reference and quite interesting in many other aspects.Highly recommended.

If you're looking to gain knowledge and factual information about the greatest solid body electric guitar ever produced, this is the book you want. Leo Fender got it EXACTLY right with his first attempt when it comes to solid body electric guitars and this book gives you all of the nitty gritty you will need to find the right Telecaster for yourself or just add to your guitar knowledge. I highly recommend this book and I am a fifty year Telecaster player.

This is considered the best reference book on the Fender Telecaster, and I'm beginning to see why. While I've just begun to read it, I'm impressed with the level of detail. As a player of Telecasters, I'm very interested in their history. Other books I've read on them have been informative, but this one surpasses them all.

Several comments about the Fender Telecaster have been heard since I began listening to Roy Buchanan play guitar in the mid-70's, and I was very ready to read about the guitar which sounded so good in such hands. The book is the best I've seen on the subject of guitars. The subject of another well-known Fender guitar hasn't interested me nearly so much. Good book.

This book covers the history and the variations in the modelsof Leo Fender's first (and arguably best) electric guitar. TheStratocaster may be more popular in some circles, but the Telecasterhas held its own since the beginning.If you have a Telecaster you can check your serial number to identifythe year and some of the manufacture changes from year to year.Every Tele owner needs a copy of a book like this.

This book is written in a scholarly fashion. There is no other guitar book like this. Be sure to read his book on the fender Stratocaster too.

Gotta love the tele's
